sounds amazing. I need one. But I’ve found myself using this lens more and more and I’ve never really shot manual focus before.

The problem with manual operation is that by the time you get everything exactly right, the elephant has left the room:

I just needed the elephant to stay put!

Notice how nice and clear and sharp this shot is. Don't look for the front of the elephant!

Very true! I love focus peaking for this lens but it definitely can be tough sometimes to get it just right.

Yes, I use fp a lot but usually with flowers, small bugs/insects and things that don't move much. Not so good for butterflys, birds, etc. Tho really, elephants don't seem in the category of fast movers, unless they get stampeded by lions or angry Indian villagers. I use fp mostly with the 60 macro for close up work, tho it is also very good for portrait and mid range scenic shots. Still having difficulty with the colour on the fp as it seems to need high contrast. I don't have an editor that will process RAW. But when I've been shooting in B&W, the fp certainly does work better.
